Profile:
Warnaweera was an effective bowler in his limited Test career. An
offspinner, Warnaweera bowled the ball at a quick pace but
questions over the legality of his action eventually saw him
sanctioned from the international arena.
Under home conditions where he played the majority of his Tests
he was a dangerous customer. A promising series against an
England A team saw Warnaweera make his test debut against
Pakistan in 1986. Used sparingly he had the figures of 1/26
bowling only 8.3 overs and had to wait till November 1990 for his
second chance in the one off Test against India, taking 3/90 from
46 tidy overs. On the following tour of NZ he went wicketless at
Wellington in what turned out to be his only Test in the series.
Recalled against New Zealand in 1992/93. At SSC he took 4/25 as
Sri Lanka spun New Zealand out, winning the Test and hence the
series 1-0. At the same ground Warnaweera was instrumental in
helping Sri Lanka to its first victory over England capturing
8/188 from 65.1 overs in the match. Against the Indian batsman he
was less effective taking 6 wickets in 3 Tests.
Following the conclusion of his playing career Warnaweera became
involve in the preparation of the Galle stadium. One of his
proudest moments being when the ground hosted the second Test
against Sri Lanka and New Zealand, its inaugural international
fixture.
